What it does
Ingest is an agent skill from guhcostan/claude-mega-brain. Create or update a single OKF concept file from raw input. Use when the user wants to document a specific table, metric, API, service, or concept in the knowledge base — even if they say "add this to the okf", "documenta essa tabela", "cria um conceito pra isso", "adiciona no knowledge base", "register this API", or pastes a schema/description and says to save it. If no OKF files exist yet, suggest /mega-brain:init first.
Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge bases. The repository describes itself as: OKF-powered knowledge context for Claude Code — injects your project's knowledge base at every session. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to document a specific table
- Concept in the knowledge base — even if they say add this to the okf
- Documenta essa tabela
- Cria um conceito pra isso
Example prompts
- “add this to the okf”
- “documenta essa tabela”
- “cria um conceito pra isso”
- “/ingest”
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the source material
- Identify the concept type and canonical name
- Write description: one sentence, plain language
- Add resource URL if there's a live resource (BQ console URL, API endpoint, dashboard)
- Write the body with exact values — preserve field names, types, and formulas as-is; do not generalize
- Link to related concepts with Name — this builds the knowledge graph
- Save next to related OKF files (e.g. docs/tables/.md or /tables/.md)
- Add one line to index.md: - Title — description
- Append to log.md: — added
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de1ab9c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Ingest loads about 694 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 278 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Create or update a single OKF concept file from raw input. Use when the user wants to document a specific table, metric, API, service, or concept in the knowledge base — even if they say "add this to the okf", "documenta essa tabela", "cria um conceito pra isso", "adiciona no knowledge base", "register this API", or pastes a schema/description and says to save it. If no OKF files exist yet, suggest /mega-brain:init first.
ingest — OKF Concept Writer
Turns raw input (schema dump, API doc, user description, table definition) into one OKF-formatted .md file committed to the knowledge base.
Before writing
Look for existing OKF files: any .md with type: frontmatter, or index.md / log.md in the project. If none exist, stop and tell the user to run /mega-brain:init first.
If .mega-brain.json defines dir, save new concepts under that directory. Otherwise, choose a sensible location (docs/, project root, etc.) consistent with existing OKF files.
Check if a concept with the same name already exists. If so, ask whether to update it or create a new one.
Output format
One .md file per concept. Only type is required:
---
type: <concept type>
title: <display name>
description: <one sentence, plain language, no jargon>
resource: <URL to the actual resource, if any>
tags: [<tag1>, <tag2>]
timestamp: <ISO 8601 date>
---
<body: exact schema, formula, join patterns, examples, caveats>Common types
| Type | Use for |
|---|---|
BigQuery Table | BQ tables with schema |
BigQuery Dataset | BQ datasets |
Table | Non-BQ database tables |
Metric | KPI or business metric with formula |
API | REST/GraphQL endpoints |
Runbook | Operational procedures |
Concept | Business or domain terminology |
Service | Internal microservices |
Pipeline | ETL or data pipelines |
Types are freeform — add your own.
Process
- Read the source material
- Identify the concept type and canonical name
- Write
description: one sentence, plain language - Add
resourceURL if there's a live resource (BQ console URL, API endpoint, dashboard) - Write the body with exact values — preserve field names, types, and formulas as-is; do not generalize
- Link to related concepts with
[Name](relative-path.md)— this builds the knowledge graph - Save next to related OKF files (e.g.
docs/tables/<slug>.mdor<config-dir>/tables/<slug>.md) - Add one line to
index.md:- [Title](path) — description - Append to
log.md:<date> — added <title>
Updating an existing entry
- Update
timestamp - Preserve existing wikilinks unless explicitly removing them
- Keep
descriptionto one sentence — push additional detail into the body
